HE SPEAKS IN A FOREIGN TONGUE.

Is it hard to learn Estonian? I think T\'\'t should be the godfather and raise the young one in the ways of the Baltic.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 12 February 2004 00:50 (twenty years ago) link

The godfather is Prince

― Andy K (Andy K), Thursday, 12 February 2004 00:51 (twenty years ago) link

(Not that he knows it or anything. If he sues, it will be David Gedge.)

― Andy K (Andy K), Thursday, 12 February 2004 00:52 (twenty years ago) link

Oh, so the middle name is already going to be Cloreen, got it.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 12 February 2004 00:53 (twenty years ago) link

A different generation has new gods (besides which, I absolutely adore Andy's story about how he essentially knew he had found His One True Love when he spied her Prince collection).

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 12 February 2004 00:57 (twenty years ago) link

congrats!

― Orbit (Orbit), Thursday, 12 February 2004 00:57 (twenty years ago) link

Way to go, Andy, way to go! *clap clap*

Congratulations Andy!

Hi Andy :)
Congrats on the blessed event.
I hope to hear more about the wee one when he /she comes home :)

Many congratulations, Andy, on the future addition to your family!

― Mellow Dee (Dee the Lurker), Thursday, 12 February 2004 03:07 (twenty years ago) link

Mazel Tov Andy--
And let me tell you: from the time I first saw the ultrasound to when my daughter was born I speculated endlessly about what she'd look like--given these blurry clues--and it turned out I was shockingly accurate. Did they give you one of those weird "baby's first picture" cards for the printout?

(would it be totally gay to start a baby group on ilx? seems like there are enough of us)

― antexit (antexit), Thursday, 12 February 2004 08:45 (twenty years ago) link

Congratulations!! I love hearing stuff like this. Kids are great.

― roger adultery (roger adultery), Thursday, 12 February 2004 08:50 (twenty years ago) link

awww I didn't see the scan pic! that is so sweet. It's the second scan pic I have seen this morning aswell, babies everywhere! yay!

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 12 February 2004 10:53 (twenty years ago) link

My mate, Dodgy Dave, can do an abortion with a few coathangers for only £30. I'm not saying that it's the way to go, mind, just looking out for my mate's back balance y'know? He's got a smack addiction to fund and anyone attacks him is attacking the working class - you know what I mean?

― Nutty Nigel (Nutty Nigel), Thursday, 12 February 2004 11:11 (twenty years ago) link

Are no threads sacred?

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Thursday, 12 February 2004 11:14 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah that sucked. Gives a bad name to abortion jokes.

― christhamrin (christhamrin), Thursday, 12 February 2004 11:23 (twenty years ago) link

Thanks to everyone!

Did they give you one of those weird "baby's first picture" cards for the printout?

No. We won't even know if it's male or female for another few weeks.

― Andy K (Andy K), Thursday, 12 February 2004 13:42 (twenty years ago) link

congrats andy.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Thursday, 12 February 2004 13:49 (twenty years ago) link

No. We won't even know if it's male or female for another few weeks.

Call it the Prince symbol in the interim.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 12 February 2004 14:02 (twenty years ago) link

Yay for the baby-shaped squiggle!

― Archel (Archel), Thursday, 12 February 2004 14:03 (twenty years ago) link

Welcome to the club my good man! If I can offer one bit of advice, it is this: for the next 6+ months, when your baby's momma wants you to do something, DO IT. And hearty congratulations on accomplishing the prime directive! Seed successfully planted! Score!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 12 February 2004 14:09 (twenty years ago) link

on accomplishing the prime directive!

I thought that was living in peace and contemplation with your surroundings. Plus some good pizza.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 12 February 2004 14:13 (twenty years ago) link

congratulations! i am listening to matthew dear in tribute (well actually coincidentally, but y'know).

― toby (tsg20), Thursday, 12 February 2004 14:19 (twenty years ago) link

three months pass...

He is a male, btw, and we shall call him Adrian.

(This was finally decided the other day while watching the fetal monitor reading. We called him Adrian, and he responded with a strong physical action of some sort.)

― Stacey Pollen (Andy K), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 00:31 (twenty years ago) link

Hurrah! :-) You're already playing him Prince, I assume.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 01:13 (twenty years ago) link

Actually, Prince will be his first concert.

― Stacey Pollen (Andy K), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 02:32 (twenty years ago) link

We called him Adrian

You didn't say "Yo Adrian!"?

― j.lu (j.lu), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 02:35 (twenty years ago) link

Actually, Prince will be his first concert.

*merry*

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 1 June 2004 02:36 (twenty years ago) link

two months pass...

So here's Adrian! Born two days ago -- appropriately on a new-release Tuesday. 7 lbs, 7 oz, 20 3/4". Blue eyes, light brown (so far) hair. Everyone's happy, jubilant, hooray, hurrah!

I must now return to not sleeping. Much more to follow.

(Picture taken by Uncle [that's brother to me] David. Gent holding him his Grandpa K. Short on uploadable pics and time at the moment.)

― Andy K (Andy K), Thursday, 12 August 2004 19:48 (nineteen years ago) link

You know, I'm very glad I wasn't the only one to make that connection. ;-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 12 August 2004 21:35 (nineteen years ago) link

Yay new baby!

Happy Day! Nicely done, Andy!!!! Welcome to cult....er.....club.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 12 August 2004 22:28 (nineteen years ago) link

Jeez. I made the same weak joke up-thread. I suck like `dat.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 12 August 2004 22:29 (nineteen years ago) link

Congrats Andy!!!!!

― |a|m|t|r|s|t| (amateurist), Friday, 13 August 2004 00:40 (nineteen years ago) link

CONGRATS! Your biological purpose has been fulfilled; now you may take up dangerous hobbies.

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Friday, 13 August 2004 00:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Thanks everyone!

AiNYC: You've lost much sleep/You've lost much brainpower/You've got a very good excuse. (Also, I was growing a beard in solidarity but I must retire it now.)

Sean: Actually I'm hoping to re-create the covers of Hot Buttered Soul and Black Moses. (I know I know, what father hasn't done exactly that, etc.)

Must now feed cats and get back to hospital. We should all be back home early tomorrow morning.

― Andy K (Andy K), Friday, 13 August 2004 18:01 (nineteen years ago) link

Please give Jodee my best, I forgot to mention that earlier. :-)

EXCELLENT WORK, ANDY!

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 16:11 (nineteen years ago) link

Babies are so cute. Our salesperson brings hers to work in the morning. So Thom and I are now more than ever keen to have babies of our own. Xrossing our fingers we won't have to wait long.

― jesus nathalie (nathalie), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 16:16 (nineteen years ago) link

Thanks everyone!

(My advice to you, Jesus, is to have them one at a time.)

Somehow I've never seen this thread ... fantastic pictures Andy. He's a terrific baby.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 17:37 (nineteen years ago) link

Flying serene superbaby!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 17:43 (nineteen years ago) link

AIRPLANE BOY. My favoritest game ever. You have spawned a beaut sir. Good on ye.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 18:09 (nineteen years ago) link

That helicopter shirt is awesome. Our toddler would die for that shirt. We live near a small hospital and helicopters often fly over our house when patients have to be airlifted to Boston. I used to hate the sound of them, but it makes Rufus so happy that I've stopped feeling sad for the poor illin' passengers.

― Maria D. (Maria D.), Tuesday, 2 November 2004 18:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Damn, that is one sharp-looking baby.

That's entirely awesome.

Thank you, Sean!

Maria -- the shirt's from Old Navy.

Hahaha, that IS rather like the man, is it not? Perhaps there was reincarnation.

what a happy fellow!

ilxors seem to produce the cutest babies

― gem (trisk), Monday, 6 June 2005 13:16 (nineteen years ago) link

Indeed Gem!
Too cute!

I don't know which is best, the one where he and the cat have clearly been plotting world domination together, or the raconteurish bather. What a cool dude.

― Liz :x (Liz :x), Monday, 6 June 2005 13:26 (nineteen years ago) link

Thanks for the kind words, everyone!

He and the cat, Milo, are best friends. Milo doesn't take any shit from anyone else when it comes to tugging on his hair or being a little aggressive. With Adrian, he'll just sit there and lap up any attention. Casper, our other cat, is protective of him but otherwise seemingly indifferent.

― Andy K. (ADK), Monday, 6 June 2005 15:46 (nineteen years ago) link

Hehehe, what genius. :-D I like me this kid.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 6 June 2005 16:13 (nineteen years ago) link

Oooh I hope it's due to ILX that all these kids (Andy's, Alex',...) are so beautiful. Xrossing my fingers mine is as pretty! I love babies who laugh. I never laughed as baby apparently.
